Don Lancaster's GuruGrams are a continuation of his earlier Tech
Musings
print and ezine series. These are generally single topic
tech ap notes made web friendly through non-print layouts and tight
resource linking. Topics are often more technical and more advanced
than those that appear in the Blatant Opportunist series.

Note: Starting with #22, Blatant Opportunist columns are now being
done in the GuruGram format.

Many of our earlier apnotes and related resources should eventually
get updated and improved into this series. Your support as a

or Synergetics Partner can make this happen.
